🫶 Reiki in our community 🫶

Last week, I had the honor of joining Sheena of Flourishing Roots Wellness at the DSM South Side Library for an "Intro to Reiki" event— where I assisted during the group Reiki portion.

Community education around energy healing matters deeply to me. So many people have never experienced Reiki, or aren't sure what to expect — and events like this create a low-pressure, accessible space for people to simply... feel it for themselves.

And feel it they did.

One attendee shared that a heaviness they'd been carrying in their chest began to lift. Another noticed physical aches in their body start to release — after just one short group session.

You don't need to fully understand how Reiki works to benefit from it. The body responds. Even 10-20 minutes in a group setting can create a noticeable shift.

Sheena and I are already talking about offering more group Reiki experiences — if you'd like to be on the invite list, send me a message. 💚

Healing is better together.

This past weekend was a whirlwind of emotions, and my heart is still so full. 💛

I've been sitting with all the feelings from this weekend, and the one that keeps rising to the top is gratitude.

Saturday's grand opening of Radiate Light Collective was everything I could have hoped for and more. Seeing so many old and new friends walk through those doors meant more than words can say — the space was filled with exactly the kind of energy it was always meant to hold.

I feel so honored to share this journey alongside Sheena of Flourishing Roots Wellness. There's something really special about building something meaningful with someone who shares your heart for this work.

If you've been thinking about connecting, here's what's coming up:
✨ In-person sessions — Mondays
✨ Distance sessions — still available anytime

Thank you to everyone who showed up, cheered us on, and made Saturday unforgettable. This is just the beginning. 🌟

🔬 New Reiki Research!⁠
⁠
⁠A recent randomized controlled study explored the effects of Reiki therapy on children ages 5–7 years living with leukemia, focusing on pain, vital signs, and quality of life during hospital treatment.⁠
⁠
Researchers used a double-blind, randomized controlled design with 66 children receiving either Reiki, pseudo-Reiki, or standard care. Reiki was given for 20–30 minutes daily for three consecutive days.⁠
⁠
**Reiki was shown to:**⁠
⁠
✅ Significantly reduce pain compared with pseudo-Reiki and control groups⁠
✅ Significantly improve quality of life according to both children and mothers’ evaluations⁠
🚫 No significant change in vital signs or oxygen saturation (showing Reiki acted as supportive care rather than altering medical parameters)⁠
⁠
This study supports what many Reiki practitioners witness: Reiki can reduce pain and improve quality of life.
